Description: This is my 3rd and final restaurant. I relocated from North Naples after a 15 year successful run. I wanted this interior to be very sharp, elegant, 5th avenue chic yet with some Persian touches. A collaborated vision between myself and Architect Fernando Zabala has resulted in a space which as he puts it: "resembles a Persian jewel box". I updated my menu and am continuing my innovative and classic Persian creations. The range is varied from somehow comfortable, simple and wholesome food to sophisticated and mutli level flavors ready to be enjoyed by all culinary food lovers. Although I am constantly inspired by all other cuisines, but my food should not be stereotyped with Arabic, Turkish, Indian, etc. or any other single ethnicity. My signature food at Bha! Bha! Bistro remains just that. My signature cooking.T here are many dishes on my menu that perhaps are not seen or recognized in a typical Persian restaurant. Yet, all the classic Persian ingredients like pomegranates, mint, saffron, rose water, cardamom, pistachios basmati rice etc. are all present; however they are not all packaged into one entre. Among the 3 dozens items on my menu some are packed with flavors and some are kept low key for the respect of diners who may not be too enthusiastic about overwhelmingly pungent flavors. My staff will go out of their way to guide the dinners into a perfect union with their choices.I invite you to come over and allow me to entice all your culinary senses by what I have created over the past 25 years. Eagerly welcoming you Michael Mir Owner

“Wonderful flavours in a very nice setting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

Lovely venue, great food and very attentive and friendly knowledgeable service. Three courses for two plus wine and coffee $160 and worth every cent. We both started with the lamb meatballs which were tender and delicious, followed by one braised lamb and one duck which again were faultless, tempted by desert I tried the rice pudding which was just right,...

“Lovely food, shame about the service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2013

We three women visited on a busy evening. The waiter was quite solicitous until we declined pre dinner cocktails, when he promptly walked off and ignored us. We had a long wait for our orders to be taken and too-long waits between courses. While we were eating our the main courses our waiter turned from indifferent to over-attentive to the... More

“Good Persian restaurant”

We really enjoyed our dinner in Bha Bha Persian Bistro. Being fans of Persian cuisine in general we were not disappointed in this lovely restaurant. Restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. Service is good, waiter attentive and provided us with good recommendations. And, of course, the food was simply delicious. We ordered Braised Lamb Shanks that was prepared perfectly. I... More

While vacationing in Naples, Fl this February 2013, we reacquainted ourselves with this restaurant which has been an old favorite. We make a point each time we vacation in Naples to return here to enjoy the excellent Persian Cusine offered by this restaurant. During this trip we experienced their new location on 5th Avenue, as they were previously located in... More

“Persian cuisine with a smile!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2013

Searching for something different in fine dining? Try Bha Bha for excellent Persian cuisine. Don't miss the portobello mushroom appetizer. Outstanding! I had the chicken with yellow curry and it could not have been more flavorful. My wife had the salmon and also thought the blend of flavors was unique and delicious. Save room for the dessert. Wife had the... More

Recently dined at Bha Bha Persian Bistro for the first time. We were excited because we have enjoyed authentic Persian cuisine on numerous occasions in Boston and Los Angeles. However, we were aware that Bha Bha Bistro is based on "innovative" Persian cuisine and did not know what to expect. Upon arrival we were promptly greeted and seated. The outdoor... More
